RESUMO
Objective To investigate the association of nitrotyrosine with coronary heart disease (CHD) in type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods The nitrotyrosine levels were determined in 109 patients of type 2 diabetes mellitus without CHD (T2DM).One hundred and fifty-two patients of type 2 diabetes mellitus with CHD (T2DM-CHD) and 103 healthy control subjects by ELISA.Results T2DM-CHD patients had significantly increased nitrotyrosine compared with T2DM group and the control group [ ( 78.17±10.68 )nmol/L,(70.50 ± 9.13) nmol/L vs ( 63.23 ± 11.55 ) nmol/L,Ps ＜ 0.01 ].Nitrotyrosine was correlated with total cholesterol,triglyceride,fasting glucose and Gensini Score (r=0.361,P=0.009;r =0.206,P=0.001 ;r=0.347,P=0.026; r=0.466,P ＜ 0.001 ).Multivariable logistic regression showed nitrotyrosine was independently associated with CHD combined with type 2 diabetes mellitus ( OR=1.094,95％ CI:1.053-1.137 ; P ＜ 0.01 ).Conclusion Nitrotyrosine plays an important role in the formation and development of cardiovascular disease in tvoe 2 diabetes.
RESUMO
0 05) Conclusion Temperature and hemolysis affected the ECP level in different degrees But there was no significant influence of anti coagulation agent on the ECP level It could be concluded from our study that coagulation of the blood was not necessary to the ECP determination
